Molex 0050579213 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0050579213 is a 13-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component serves as the housing for female socket contacts in free-hanging, in-line configurations. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements for different insulation materials or operating temperature ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0050579213 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
Contact Type: Must be Female Socket
Number of Positions: Must be 13
Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Rows: Must be 1
Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Must be Crimp

Parts meeting these core electrical and mechanical parameters are considered parametric equivalents. Secondary parameters such as insulation material, color, and operating temperature range may vary within acceptable limits for specific applications. All substitute parts listed maintain the same functional interface and mounting compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring suitability for current production and regulatory requirements.

Molex Series (0050579213, 0050579013, 0050579313): These parts are direct parametric equivalents within the same SL 70066 series. They share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range. Selection among these three Molex options is based on inventory availability.

TE Connectivity 2-87175-8: This AMPMODU series part meets all core substitution criteria. It offers an extended lower operating temperature limit (-65°C versus -40°C), providing broader thermal performance for applications requiring enhanced cold-temperature operation. RoHS compliance is confirmed.

Amphenol ICC 65039-024LF: This Mini-PV™ series part satisfies all functional requirements with modified polyphenylene insulation material. Operating temperature range matches the primary part (-40°C ~ 105°C). REACH status is unaffected, and RoHS compliance is confirmed.

Amphenol ICC 65240-013LF: This DUBOX™/MezzSelect™ series part provides the widest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and highest upper temperature limit (125°C). Housing color is blue rather than black. Insulation material is thermoplastic, glass filled. REACH status is affected. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0050579213 with any of the listed alternatives?

A: Yes, all listed parts are parametric equivalents meeting the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 13-position receptacle housing, 0.100" pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. Selection depends on specific application requirements for operating temperature, insulation material, color, and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Molex parts (0050579213, 0050579013, 0050579313)?

A: These three parts are functionally identical within the S
